The Catalogue of the delights in our Archives has in the past usually been published twice a year, but the intention for 2025 onwards is to amend the catalogue on the Association website currently as any new acquisitions become available for research. It can be accessed on-line by clicking on “Archives” in the headings across our Home page. At the year end, it will be made available in pdf form, and the December 2024 edition may now be downloaded here
